"Sadly we burnt all our coal 100 years ago".
There's still at least 50 years worth of coal left at the bottom of Parkside colliery in South Lancs.
You can't have it, because (instead of 'mothballing' it just in case we need it in future) they dynamited all the pit-head structures down the shafts for spite, and now you would need to sink new shafts.Comment

It would have taken 50 years to exhaust the new seams that the mine was built to exploit. Obviously only a tiny fraction of the UK's total energy needs, but still a waste.
OK, politics apart, it was maybe uneconomical to mine it then, but wouldn't it have been better to 'mothball' collieries with remaining reserves, in case of long-term national need / war /blockade etc.
They had to bring people over from South Africa to sink those shafts. What a waste.Comment
